Yowz...took all the screws out of the window and that sucker isn't budging. The bathroom window came right out. I think it's sealed in place. I'm not up for stripping everything off just to (maybe) get a peek into the wall.
No more drips coming out today. Got the caulk and have chipped away at the old stuff. Going to clean it with the rubber roof stuff and the denatured alcohol then patch that one area w/ the dap today.
The woman at the counter at Camping World pretty much told me rig was going to fall to pieces and I was going to get sick and die if I didn't hire someone to rip the wall off my rig and replace everything. And my resale value is going to plummet. Truth is I may keep this rig for a lot of year and just renovate so I'm just going to patch it up and see how it goes. Guy at the service desk didn't seem to care either way but he did tell me removing the old caulk is best. Lots of videos out there showing professionals covering over existing caulk.
How do you know when your rubber roof needs recoating?
When it comes time to recoat the rubber roof itself do you have to take all the caulking off again?
